Cliff Dorsey - Stop This Train Lyrics

No I'm not colorblind
I know the world is black and white
I try to keep an open mind but
I just can't sleep on this tonight

Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed
It's movin' in
I know I can't
But honestly
Won't someone stop this train?

Don't know how else to say it
Don't wanna see my parents go
I'm one generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own

Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed
It's movin' in
I know I can't
But honestly
Won't someone stop this train?

I'm so scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game
To find a way to say my
Life has just begun

Had a talk with my old man
Said help me understand
He said turn 68
You'll renegotiate
Don't stop this train and
Don't for a minute change
The place you're in
And don't think I couldn't
Ever understand
I've tried my hand
Son honestly
We'll never stop this train

Oh once in a while
When it's good
It'll feel like it should
And they're all still around
And we're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing
Till you cry when you're drivin' away in the dark
Singing

Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed
It's movin' in
I know I can't
'Cause now I see
I'll never stop this train"
